[Verse 1] Storm on your calendar Every page felt torn Tried reading all the patterns Got lost in the swarm Now the air feels lighter Like someone cleared the sky You’re breathing a bit deeper You don’t even know why [Chorus] You’re standing in your shield at the dawn Protective and brave, you go on Every crack in your heart turned to gold in your palms You’re standing in your shield at the dawn It defends you and dares you to grow Let the waves crash, you already know You are stronger than the shadows that said you were wrong You’re standing in your shield at the dawn (oh) [Verse 2] Feet on the cold kitchen tile Sunrise on the floor Coffee cup shaking slightly But you’re shaking less than before Every “maybe” turning Into “I will try” Even if the road bends You’re still walking in the light [Chorus] You’re standing in your shield at the dawn Protective and brave, you go on Every crack in your heart turned to gold in your palms You’re standing in your shield at the dawn It defends you and dares you to grow Let the waves crash, you already know You are stronger than the shadows that said you were wrong You’re standing in your shield at the dawn (yeah) [Bridge] Lean into the weight of your name Grounded like a tree in the rain You were built to bend, not break Trust the way the pieces rearrange (oh) [Chorus] You’re standing in your shield at the dawn Protective and brave, you go on Every crack in your heart turned to gold in your palms You’re standing in your shield at the dawn It defends you and dares you to grow Let the waves crash, you already know You are brighter than the fears that once carried you on You’re standing in your shield at the dawn
